CD11: Short-Term Rental Regulations Advance
|
On August 26, the Council's Planning and Land Use Management Committee considered the motion Mike authored with Council President Herb Wesson
to
regulate short-term rentals in Los Angeles by distinguishing "good" short-term rentals from "bad" short-term rentals.
The proposal would allow residents to share their own homes, while stopping commercial property owners from taking units of the rental market, operating rogue hotels in residential neighborhoods, and worsening our affordable housing crisis.

CM Bonin's Opinion Letter re: Safe Havens for Homeless
|
In recent years, Los Angeles has seen more progress in combating homelessness than it ever has - yet the problem is still getting worse.
Since 2011, the region has housed more than 23,000 people - a record number even by national standards. Yet homelessness is on the rise. Encampments are proliferating in our neighborhoods throughout the city. There are villages of tents on sidewalks from Venice to Van Nuys, and shantytowns in neighborhoods from Skid Row to San Pedro.
How is this possible? And how can we fix it?

BE A HERO TO OUR HOMELESS HEROES
|
"Homes for Heroes" is a program to engage our landlord community to rent to our veterans. The resource we are using to house our veterans is called the Veterans Assistance for Supportive Housing or VASH.VASH provide homeless veterans with a long-term rental subsidy and supportive services so that the veteran retains and succeeds in housing. The City has over 1,000 VASH vouchers to house homeless veterans in 2015.
For information on how you can be a Hero for Heroes, please contact Ms. Tina Estedabadi of the United Way's Homes for Heroes campaign at [email protected] or 213 808-6608.

Call for Artists - Power of Art
|
For centuries, artists have been pushed to the side, disrespected and taken advantage of for their talent. This is especially true in Los Angeles. But
enough is enough. It is time to bring opportunity to artists and bring them out of the shadows.
Power of Art is unveiling LA's soul in the streets. We have successfully fought to secure mural access to over 4,000 signal boxes in Los Angeles.
